ACETIC ACID FROM MOLASSES
[CODE NO 6036]
Acetic acid is a constituent of vinegar in which it occurs to the extent of 3-5 percent. glacial acetic acid is the pure compound (99.8% min); as distinguished from the usual water solutions known as acetic acid. Vinegar is a dilute acetic acid.
It is flammable and has moderate fire risk. It is highly ;toxic by ingestion and is strong irritant to tissue. The tolerance limit in air is 10 ppm.
Large quantities of acetic acid are required for the manufacture of acetate rayon, esters and lacquers and vrnishes. It is also used for food industries. In India, the acid is mostly employed for the coagulation of rubber latex, and for the manufacture of pigments like white lead verdigris, etc.
It is also employed in the preparation of acetates and acetic esters, and in the dyeing and printing of textiles.
At present, the commercial methods used for the production of acetic acid are :
(1) By acetaldehyde conversion method
(2) By Oxidation of n-butone
(3) By methanol conversion method.
But, since the last few years, biotechnological process using molasses as the raw material is fastly coming up .
This process is divided into 2 major steps, viz.
(i) Conversion of molasses into ethanol by fermentation process
(ii) conversion of ethanol into acetic acid by aerobic bacterial oxidation (ie. by air oxidation using certain en\ymes as catalyst).
